Building Wall Blues

Sung to the tune of "Als die Roemer frech geworden", a German students' song commemorating Varus and his ninth legion's disappearance in the Teutoburger Wald.

I am aware that neither tune nor verses have the Blues form. The text should give a Lunar the blues, though...

When the Lunars came to power
Simserimsimsimsimsim
Having stormed old Sartar's tower
Simserimsimsimsimsim
They looked at the Pharaoh
Tahteratatatah
Said "This is the way to go"
Tahteratatatah
"Let's go and take Kethaela"
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
"Go and take Kethaela"
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

Fazzur Wideread took some riders
Simserimsimsimsimsim
and went east to play at snipers
Simserimsimsimsimsim
Fat Euglyptus took the rest
Tahteratatatah
He led all the Lunars west
Tahteratatatah
And marched on Esrolia,
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
And marched on Esrolia,
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

They saw New Crystal City shining
Simserimsimsimsimsim
Under clouded sky's grey lining
Simserimsimsimsimsim
When the Pharaoh's troops stood firm
Tahteratatatah
caused even veterans to squirm
Tahteratatatah
numbering ten thousands,
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
numbering ten thousands
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

The Lunar allies were disheartened
Simserimsimsimsimsim
long before the battle started
Simserimsimsimsimsim
but the Lunar Magic Corps
Tahteratatatah
blew away the Pharaoh's
Tahteratatatah
brave and stout defenders
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
brave and stout defenders
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

Fat Euglyptus watched them breaking
Simserimsimsimsimsim
when foul chaos spawn was taking
Simserimsimsimsimsim
life and soul of militiamen
Tahteratatatah
those who survived jut broke and ran
Tahteratatatah
from chaotic horrors
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
from chaotic horrors
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

But the Pharaoh unbeaten
Simserimsimsimsimsim
saw his army just retreating
Simserimsimsimsimsim
and with the magic of the land
Tahteratatatah
he raised coral, stone and sand
Tahteratatatah
to thwart the Lunar army
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
thwart the Lunar army
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

From one moment to another
Simserimsimsimsimsim
Lunar soldiers cried for mother
Simserimsimsimsimsim
father. brother, sister, child
Tahteratatatah
as the ground rose high and wild
Tahteratatatah
to a wall of steadfast magic
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
wall of steadfast magic
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

The Lunar magi drove their spirits
Simserimsimsimsimsim
at the wall, and at their limits
Simserimsimsimsimsim
But all this to no avail
Tahteratatatah
cause Pharaoh just couldn't fail
Tahteratatatah
on his homeground fighting
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
on his homeground fighting
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

The Lunar troops stopped at the fortress
Simserimsimsimsimsim
in confusion, and leaderless
Simserimsimsimsimsim
When Euglyptus left the field
Tahteratatatah
covered himself with spell and shield
Tahteratatatah
when his men were slaughtered
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
when his men were slaughtered
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

From the mountains like a thunder
Simserimsimsimsimsim
rode brave knights into the blunder
Simserimsimsimsimsim
played the hammer to the anvil
Tahteratatatah
rushed in the troops left for them to kill
Tahteratatatah
before the crenellations
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
before the crenellations
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

Fazzur heard of this at Smithstone
Simserimsimsimsimsim
grabbed his brow, said that he alone
Simserimsimsimsimsim
could have conquered Kethaela
Tahteratatatah
but for Euglyptus' hysteria
Tahteratatatah
all effort was wasted
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
all effort was wasted
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
 

Proud Kethaela stood unconquered
Simserimsimsimsimsim
Fazzur Loudmouth, he was bonkered,
Simserimsimsimsimsim
Euglyptus just kept Sartar
Tahteratatatah
as the Lunar governor
Tahteratatatah
till he ate eels, and perished
Wow, wow wow wow wow wow
he ate eels, and perished
shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang, shnatterangdang-derang-dangdang
